Transmission mount question

[Amacfly]

Does anyone know why this mounting rubber is here on the passenger side of the transmission case (US), it looks like there should be some kind of plate attached-supporting it from where the two holes are in the frame, but there's nothing I can see in the parts list, so wondered what it's for?

Anyone else care to share a shot of theirs (95-97 model)

Vibration damper

Mine looks just like that. I have an Iron Pig Offroad armor plate near there which replaces the factory cross brace and figured there was a different mount that attached. I guess not.

Does his vibration damper ever need to be replaced?

No

Mine is removed with no ill effects. It’ll have to be removed if you want to route the exhaust over the frame.

Not necessarily.

Not necessarily.

Pics ? Taking it out seemed like the only real solution when I routed my exhaust over the frame Not saying it can’t be done. I’d just love to see it.

I had a hotrod shop do mine with new Magnaflow downpipe and new Bosal muffler. They cut apart pipes and did a custom over the frame route using a single cat.
It exits just behind the right rear tire level with the rear bumper skid.
